‘We need a new govt’

This one not
I say one. I received so many of such comments from all over. Some said this
has been said many times and many years ago but nothing happened. To me this is
surprising, not because it is being said but why it needs to be said. The
people are all for the govt, behind the govt. Look at the result in the last GE
and also the by election, all for the PAP. Then why is there this kind of talk about
changing the govt, about the need for a new govt?

Didn’t the
Singaporeans know that they have the best govt in the world, the most talented
of talents in the govt, the most selfless, self sacrificing people working and
serving them and everyday thinking of how to help them to improve their lives
even if Singaporeans did not ask for it? Not only that, these are the most
clever men and women that money can buy, most honest too and definitely
incorruptible. Where else can one find such a fine collection of men and women
who risk their lives, sacrificing the quality of life of their families just to
serve the people for a few million dollars when they could make many more
millions in the private sector?

After deep
thoughts I finally concluded that the problem is that the daft sinkies are unable
to appreciate what the govt is doing for them and did not know their blessings.
The daft sinkies cannot comprehend what is good and an incorruptible govt made
up of very clever men and women and very honest too. Maybe the daft sinkies are
looking for less clever men and women, or not so honest men and women so that
they don’t have to pay so much for the quality. Not too clever men would not
think of being paid in the millions.

A good example
of how honest and clever the men and women in the govt is the way they are
telling the people about the need to increase water charges. They said the
price of water has not been increased for the last 17 years which is a fact. No
bluff one. Ok they did not say the cost of water from Malaysia did not increase
for the last 50 years but the people did not ask so cannot blame them. Then
again, the cost of water has risen with the growing population and the 13 or so
reservoirs would not be enough. To keep up with a growing population, maybe
6.9m or 10m, more desalination plants must be built. And this is not only fact
but innovation or a forward looking strategy for survival. A govt of not so
clever men and women would not know how to solve the problem of shortage of
water for a big population.

Oh, the
people also did not ask how many kinds of taxes have been added to the water
bills though the price has remained unchanged. What are the taxes? Water borne
fees, water conservation fees and GST. How much would these add up to the cost
of water or price of water? Water borne fee is 28% for households and 48% for
business use, water conservation tax is 30% and there is a 7% GST. How much
would these add up to?

Someone has
worked this out and I reproduced the numbers. I am not sure of its accuracy but
it would give a good idea of how much the total price of water the people would
have to pay despite no increase in price in the last 17 years. Assuming all
these taxes are not there, the price of water would remain the same for the
last 17 years, if one is paying $50 then, one would still be paying $50 now.

The picture
is different if the taxes are added. The example worked out is as below.Assuming a $50 water usage bill. Add 28% for
water borne fee or +$14, and another 30% for water conservation tax ie +$15 and
another 7% or $3.50 for GST, the total bill will become $82.50. What so much?
Tiok or not? No increase in water charges for 17 years but the amount to be paid
is $82.50 instead of $50?I think my
computation is not very right. Someone please correct for me.

Now the
numbers given to me on the 30% increase by Heng Swee Kiat are like this.

$50 plus 30%
will be $50 + $15=$65. Add 28%($18.20) water borne fee, add 30%($19.50) for
water conservation, the total bill will become $102.70. Now add 7% for GST or
another $7.19, the grand total for a $50 bill today will become $109.89. And
this is for household consumption. For commercial use, the water borne fee is
48% instead of 28%. How many percent more is that?

The
important thing is that the govt is telling the truth. No one is telling lies.
The only lie would be the numbers given to me if they are proven untruth or
incorrect.

Now back to
the call for a new govt. Yes, perhaps a new govt that is not too clever would
be good for Singapore. They would not know how to increase water bills without
increasing the price of water for 17 years. They would also not dare to ask to
be paid in the millions and pretend that they are also very clever. Not so
clever govt also has its own blessings I supposed.

Come to
think of it this is quite a logical deduction and a good call for a new govt,
one that is not too clever.

What do you
think?

PS. The
above discourse did not take into consideration the increase in SC&C and
electricity charges. Now you know how important it is to be earning million
dollar salaries, can twiddle thumbs and talk cock when such increases are no
more than spare change. Don’t have to worry about got increase or no increase
in water charges.

Tomorrow if the PAP says air will be chargable, because of blah blah blah, the people (include me i guess)will 乖乖pay up. I was really shocked when ST ran an article announcing that shop owners would take the 33% water price hike "in their stride".FAKE NEWS FAKE GOVERNMENT FAKE LEADERS

Why Redbean always kpkb in the morning? Some good news please. Sarcasm aside, we do have the best government in the region. Redbean always try his best to degrade and pour scorn on the good deeds of our government. Try and be a little positive and not see the cup as half empty. Unlike Redbean I am very serious in saying the pAP government has always been good for the Singaporeans. Period.

Redbean, actually Sinkieland no need a garmen at all (also no say I say one)..after the first gen of pioneers garmen there isn't a need for garmen, everything can be automated & run robotically with computer programs to run it...wat u need r programmers ( u see even our PeeAyam & DeePeeAm also computer science trained with major in Maths & econs)..see no need a garmen but just programmers ( that's why PeeAyam think bout smart nation, smart gen..who knows 'smart waters' , 'smart HDB ' & smart lifts with autonomous maintenance or no need to maintain at all, no need Leedership renewal but just programs upgrade)..how bout PeeAyam renewal ? No need at all ( it is cyborg which runs 4ever, & 4ever with u, 4u ..no need elections at all too ...this is gen Z++ a nation of X men & women)

Aung Juan Soon Chee? He can't even win a by election (and due to PAP fault some more) against a PAP minority candidate in a Chinese majority SMC!

Hainan Ah Kor? Despite Oxford grad credentials and ex senior civil servant, he got only 22% votes! So not only lost but lost badly and getting worse each time he contested!

Teochew Ah Hia? Aiyo, he not only said WP not ready to be govt but even praised PAP as a competent govt some more! Then like that why should voters vote for him or WP? No wonder he nearly lost! His Hougang magic no more lah.

<<So Singapore.....count your lucky stars lah<< and he thinks that the increases in water , carpark , S&CC , electricity , healthcare costs medishield premiums are NOTHING....go check your DICK HEAD lah.Matilah Singapura and don't use your Australia standard to compare with Singapore . If you are so supportive of all these increases....then come back to Singapore for GOOD lah . Don't sit on the fencing in Australia and looking at Singaporeans bitting the bullet on these unfair and uncall-for increases and talk BIRD LANGUAGE. And I repeat....go fly your kite and OUTSIDER smoke cigar and the facts is you are considered a QUITTER an "OUTSIDER" to Singapore......our beloved country .

You think you are smarter than Mr Chua....redbean talk SENSE and you talk NONSENSE boy .

70% have given the government to do whatever the government thinks is good for Singaporeans. Live with it. Please stop this constant kpkb. If you think the government is wrong then go through the official channels and voice your opinion. This is after all a democratic country and there are proper channels to voice your concerns. It is pointless to be on social media and kpkb all the time. Be constructive and not just complain constantly. It get a little boring and it serves no purpose.

"The centre, a partnership between the Health Ministry, Tsao Foundation and Whampoa’s grassroots organisations, features a clinic, day care centre and services that help the elderly and their caregivers manage chronic health conditions and emotional needs.

Speaking yesterday at the official re-opening of Whampoa Community Club (CC), where the centre is located, Health Minister Gan Kim Yong cited the neighbourhood as an example of how an ageing population can be supported by a “community of care”."

See or not? Sounds so right again but full of cock.

Ask.. more and more rely on community services or charities good or bad?

That's not caring for people. The aging retards(growing in numbers) is a result of decades of economic and social abuses.

On the surface, it deceptively shows care but ignore the "carer" who made retards out of people

All dictators care about is how to consolidate their power and build up their empire and stay in power for as long as possible. If not possible, they will make it possible through all sorts of means, designs, schemes, etc. Some dicatators, who are not so smart, make use of physical threats, such as mass-killings, assassinations, murders - for which ultimately, they themselves might be taken to task by International Tribunals, like Saddam Hussein.

Some dictators, who are smart, make use of the law, rules, regulations and policies to entrap, ensnare, encapsulate, eliminate, exterminate and/or incarcerate their opponents and dissenters. They operate within the Constitution and the Laws of the Land, which are actually created by them to suit them. In this way, they are protected by the Constitution and the Laws. Therefore, nobody can bring them to task to answer for their crimes against humanity.

Some even smarter dictators, project themselves as 'Father' or 'Mother' of their country and their people. Initially, they will try to impress upon their citizens that whatever they do are for them, for their well-being, for the country's future, their children's future. They will make use of flowery speeches to con their citizens into believing that the government is a good, clean and upright government that truly cares for its people. At the same time, they will also take over full control of the media, the 5th estate, through all sorts of excuses disguised as "good for the country" or "for your future" and turn it into their main propaganda outreach machine.

Some very smart and cunning dictators, will in addition to the above, also conscript the citizens into the military, police, civil organisations in order to condition them into mentally-retarded "Yes Sir!" order-taking robots, who will willingly do anything their "Sir" tell them to do. In their education non-system system, they will make use of the schools and institutions of learning to brain-wash their young citizens and feed them with a twisted national history with a false national pledge, using Confucius tactics to submit, supress, subjucate and turn them into subservient and compliant idiots, and make them unfits and misfits for the jobs generated in the commercial and business world, so that these dictators can import unlimited numbers of foreigners and aliens from 3rd world countries to replace, misplace and displace the local citizens of their good, lucrative and high-paying jobs.

The local citizens will then have to suck their thumbs and scratch their balls everyday and night and wonder why they are themselves so useless and daft. Resign to their own fate, they blame their own uselessness and keep depending upon their government to throw some bits and pieces of goodies to them every year. They keep voting for the same dictatorial and con-men govt without realising that they have been conned year after year. They continue to think that their government is World-Best.

Idiotic brains are worst than brain-dead zombies. They are not only pathetic and tragic, they are not worth your compassion and sympathy. Their only remedy is to return to the Syonan or Syokan Period and get screwed everyday by the Japs.

I am not very sure if Lky or his son LHL is to be called a "dictator". Historically and up to date ALL "dictators" physically KILL their opponents. Think Stalin, hitler, idi amin, jongUn kim et al. So LKYLHL antics like locking up chiatyepoh for 25 years, or teosohlung or amosyee, not pakai one. From the international political understanding it is not warranted to call them "dictators". I heard of another term "Strongman", but it sounds weird.

"To keep up with a growing population, maybe 6.9m or 10m, more desalination plants must be built.""strategy for survival"

This is what i said: vote for opposition. In 2020GE if readers fail in attempt to vote for opposition, their children s future will be closer to those living in Lebanon and Syria. Lebanon was destroyed by "refugees" of their similar kind muslims. Lebanon was a financial hub. Syria was similar. In Europe, UK is to stop refugees or immigrants next month March when Article 50 is triggered.

Heng ah said he was said for countries looking "inwards". It is not to feel sad that way in my view. Singaporeans are to feel sad to have voted for a bunch of elites only know few things:build flats by snatching lands, sell lands to make profit, increase taxes to make profits, use cpf to gamble on shares.

The most difficult jobs that gks did was to create jobs. This is something this bunch of elites scared to yell about. They never create any industries worth mentioning except hdb, which is out dated as the whole world are doing it better. I have lived in other countries, never heard of lifts went free fall down or went sudden high speed up. That is heard here. Hdb is out dated.

Cannot create jobs for own citizens and want to sell condos to foreigners to make money. Will these foreigners turn criminals some days when their own saving run out? 7 millions and 10 millions, readers be very careful about this plan.

Why need a new team? The old refuse to go is a big problem. They want the free fall money monthly, looking at the statements and smile to pass days. But children s future income are at higher difficulty if these old refuse to go yet have no new idea and energy to innovate. What is the consequence?

The consequence to feed these old hacks to play with time is bankruptcy. Boss bankrupt, employee bankrupt too. The cost is high up to the nose, pass the neck. If boss cannot survive the high cost on rental, water, electricity, coe all controlled by the elites, they shut the businesses. Mei cho liao. Many have done this. Lose money. Where can employees find income?

7 millions and 10 millions population to create the future Lebanon in the backyard of Malaysia, will only ask Malaysia to take over eventually, may be by force. That is the future. The elites have a lots of millions dollars, their sons daughters grand sons grand daughters all does not need to work.

But please voters, they increase the costs on fellow voters, voters must feed their old folks and young children without savings. If they still refuse to vote opposition to get rid of this bunch of elites living in heaven, these voters are suicidal voting for future death of Singapore, turn it into Lebanon. The elites overall, are unable to contain cost of living. Overall are unable to create good income for NS men.They have proven that. They must not be voted in again in 2020GE. Change the team. Plant it in mind now.

Over 4000 cheated on the $500 Skill Future Fund.Who are the Cheaters?Those who utilized the Fundorthose young canvassers thatcornered the Elderlies at the Markets and Elsewhere?

There were many crazy schemes rolled out by so-called born aristocrat and talent. The Daft Sinkies took the Bait, Hook, Sinker, Line and even the Rod.Now some ended facing criminal charges for cheating a few Sin dollars.How silly!

l am worry.Worry that crazy and mad policies may cause some Sinkies to go berserk and do the untinkable.lt appears to me that there are more elderlies roaming around aimlessly. Many seem homeless.

Good Reasons for voting Opposition---------------------------------1. Abolish National Service2. Return our CPF money back at age 55 years old as promised3. HDB flats do not belong to Singaporeans.4. More jobs for Singaporeans5. Stop Immigration6. No more white elephant projects like Formula One and Youth Olympics.

Uncle RB, me very worried bout u bcos of the titled " We need a new govt.." It's a sensitive topic, me scared u gonna invited by the blue men & women to Limkopi & they say u r walking in a fine line of the sedition rule. Although Long Gor can say that a leader need to accept criticism & sometimes made mistakes, me doubt many who oppose him will put behind the bar. RB me really admire ur courage & hope u be ok.--from a Kiasi netizen.

//Which stupid oppies wanna takeover the Shits created by PAPies?//Who in the right frame of mind would wanto take this shits ? Even Teo Chew Ah Hia also no wan la. The one got guts is Aung Juan Soon Chee but he can't even win a chee-BE election, how to takeover Papies?The possibly of internal conflict within the whites Papies might be possible in time to come, a power struggle of Papies internal affairs causing some breakaway to from new leadership or even party & come to oppose the ruling whites (an event of the 60s GE a repeat episode of some barisan national alike) ..Papies systems need a reboot like that of the US GE to reset or restore Sinkieland better its life again.

Problem 1 with Singaporeans: They are generally not people of ACTION. That is why they need to vote in people who have the word "action" in the name of the organisation---I'm referring to, of course the evil PAP!

✹ The govt. is made up of people from the same stock of people who choose the govt, elect them into office, and consenting to sacrifice "tax money" to pay for those state offices. The govt and YOU---sama sama lah!🙄🙄

➤➤ The people currently in govt. are the best the particular society of citizens can muster. Sorry, you fuckers have hit a wall lah.

✣ However, sometimes, the people in office loose their mojo and like everything else in life which slacks off or decreases in effectiveness, needs to be changed...

...BUT you are still going to choose from the same societal pool of suitable candidates, and you are not going to "do better" than the people you pick.😜

People think that changing govt will "solve all the problems"😂🤣😂🤣 Aiyoh, comedy lah...

OK, now to address "buay tahan" Angry AhKong65, who is obviously English-challenged (probably not his first language) and writes responses to me like a cry-baby, instead of a man, who one would think after doing NS will have balls, a smidgen of intelligence and the emotional wherewithal to muster a better rejoinder to me.

Apparently not. 😂 AhKong65 is a shining example of why free speech cannot possibly work in Singapore. As soon as someone doesn't like what you say/ write...they just attack you, instead of attacking your arguments.

...but sad fact is too many ⚠️ Lazy Loser Locals Singaporeans ⚠️ (L3SG---my new abbreviation for these assholes) are to passive to TAKE ADVANTAGE of the wonderful opportunities available to those who dare to try. Sad, so sad....😢😥

Funny thing about AhKOng65 and his ilk---they call me a "quitter" or an "outsider", yet I'm one motherfucker who is CONSTANTLY telling everyone how fucking AWESOME Singapore is.

Like I said to those folks---go and enrol for remedial English comprehension class lah.

Probably a good idea for you fuckers to get off the blogs too. The internet has many other things for you to do, like play games and enjoy porn.🤡

The following is a blog post written by Mr Wang Says So on 15 Aug 08. It is very insightful. I thought of sharing with you guys because eight years have past since I read Mr Wong's blog post, and this question of who is the real devil still keep surfacing in my mind.

WILLAM GOLDING was a Nobel Prize-winning author. His most famous work is Lord of the Flies, a novel which I studied for my GCE O-level Literature exams many years ago. The title is actually a reference to the Hebrew name Beelzebub (literally, "god of the fly", "Lord of Flies"), a name sometimes used as a synonym for Satan.

The book is really quite fascinating. It is a study of the human psyche, and it stares straight into the face of evil inside us. I cannot do justice to the book's rich complexity in one short blog post, but let me try anyway.

The plot goes like this. After a plane crash, a large group of schoolboys are stranded on a beautiful deserted island. None of them are hurt, and none of them are in danger. There is more than enough food, water and shelter on the island for them to survive indefinitely.

The boys quickly organise themselves. They appoint leaders, set rules for themselves and work together to build shelters and gather food. In effect, they become a microcosm of our larger human society. You look at the boys and you can see how human civilisation operates (and this is precisely what Golding intended, for his novel is allegorical).

What happens next? Well, the boys could have led a peaceful, harmonious existence on an island paradise. In fact, they initially do. However, things quickly break down. A power struggle breaks out between the two oldest boys - Ralph, who is strong and genuinely good-hearted, and Jack, who is just as strong, but utterly ruthless and power-hungry.

At first the boys elect Ralph as their leader. But Jack steadily gains power. Eventually, Jack takes complete control and under his leadership, the entire group of boys degenerate into barbaric savagery. Two boys are murdered and Ralph himself is hunted down like a wild pig to be slaughtered.

How did Jack do it? How did he seize power? Essentially he played on the boys' fears. He told them that somewhere on the island, there lived a fearsome "beast". According to Jack, this "beast" was ferocious, it was no ordinary animal, it was a kind of monster and it was hungry. It hated the boys and was out to hunt them down and kill them.

And the only way for the boys to escape the "beast" and survive was to accept Jack as their leader. For Jack was the strongest, the smartest, the best hunter. Jack would know what to do. If only the boys would obey Jack and pledge allegiance to him, then Jack would be able to defend them against their enemy.

Most of the boys were duped. In fact they obeyed Jack so unquestioningly that they would commit murder, upon his command. And that was how Jack gained power.

Of course, the truth was that there was no "beast". It was merely a fiction, a myth, a frightening story that Jack steadily built up over time, by playing on the boys' collective fear of the dark. In psychological terms, the "beast" was nothing more than an external projection of the boys' irrational inner fears. It was through Jack's skilful manipulations that the imaginary "beast" was magnified into huge proportions.

It was through Jack's skilful manipulations that the imaginary "beast" was magnified into huge proportions.

Why am I writing about the Lord of the Flies today? Two decades have passed since I first read that stunningly insightful book. Yet up to today, events in Singapore still periodically remind me of that novel. Most recently, we see media reports like these:

Singapore is small enough to be a suburb in Beijing, but it has something in common with the mammoth People's Republic. The little red dot and Red China are both countries the West loves to hate.

There are those who wish bad things to happen to the Beijing Olympics. Likewise, there are those who have had it in for the Lion City for years ....

Do "they" really hate us? Is anyone really out to "do us in"? Is there really a "conspiracy" going on?

And if so ....... whose conspiracy is it? Ask yourself that.

Today, the beast/devil has taken a different form - the form of "Future Economy". So, they have to raise gas, electricity and water prices in order to suck more money out of the masses, to provide for the "Future"!

They can't even sort out the present mess. You think they can solve future problems in the present time?February 27, 2017 9:41 pm

All of them are just spoilt little boys.When they were toddlers, their mothers used to hold their penis when they urinated.Now that they are Ministers, they treat us taxpayers like their mothers.They expect us to pay more taxes (hold their penis) every time they can't balance their budget.

If they did not waste money on Formula One Night Race, Youth Olympics, never ending HDB estate upgrading projects and God only know what else ... they would have plenty of money left over to return back to us.

This is what LKY preached to us Pioneer OLDIES when Singapore became independent.

That's why till today, sinkies still had this fear mentality that they became Kia See, Kia Soo, Kia Cheng Hu and Kia Everything that we even after 50 odd years and National Slavery together still cannot jelled as a People.
